How will I learn

The program offers a comprehensive educational experience that combines both theoretical learning and practical training to ensure students gain the necessary skills to work effectively in dental clinics and medical centers. The curriculum is designed to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical application, allowing students to apply what they learn in a real-world professional environment.

1. Theoretical Learning: Building a Scientific and Technical Foundation

Academic Lectures
Students begin by studying the fundamental concepts of dentistry through lectures provided by faculty members specialized in areas such as anatomy, pharmacology, oral diseases, and dental treatment techniques.

Specialized Courses
The program covers a range of theoretical subjects, including:

Anatomy and Physiology: Understanding the structure of the mouth, teeth, and gums.
Dental Pharmacology: Learning about the medications and anesthesia used in dental treatments.
Infection Control and Sterilization: Understanding how to protect patients and medical staff from infections.
Dental Practice Management: Teaching students how to handle medical records, schedule appointments, and manage clinic operations.
Professional Ethics: Enhancing students' awareness of the ethical and legal standards governing the work of a dental assistant.

Interactive Classroom Engagement
In-class activities include presentations, case studies, educational videos, and simulation models to help students grasp theoretical concepts and apply them in a safe environment before advancing to the practical phase.

2. Practical Learning: Application in Laboratories and Clinical Settings

Training in University Laboratories
Practical training begins in specialized simulation laboratories where students learn to:

Use dental tools and equipment.
Prepare dental materials for restorative and surgical treatments.
Practice sterilization and infection control according to global standards.
Perform and analyze dental X-rays.

Field Training in Dental Clinics and Hospitals
Intensive field training sessions are provided in dental clinics, where students work under the supervision of dentists and dental specialists to acquire clinical skills in a real-world setting.

Students assist in clinical procedures such as administering local anesthesia, placing fillings, and extracting teeth.
They also participate in dental clinic management tasks, including scheduling appointments, preparing the clinic, and communicating with patients.
Students train in preventive dentistry, pediatric dentistry, and orthodontics.

Training in Communication and Patient Care
Students gain hands-on experience interacting directly with patients, which helps them develop communication skills and provide emotional support to patients during treatment.

3. Integrating Theoretical and Practical Learning: A Practice-Based Approach

Case-Based Learning (CBL)
Students are trained to analyze real clinical cases by studying patient records, discussing diagnoses, and understanding treatment approaches.

Simulation and Digital Training Technology
The university offers interactive simulation programs that allow students to experience a variety of treatment scenarios before working with real patients.

Research Projects and Field Reports
Students are required to submit analytical reports on their clinical experiences, which helps them develop critical thinking skills and encourages continuous learning.
